Christmas on the Pearl

[pirate_gibbs]

The Captain's quarters are set. The large desk has been cleared of Jack's personal goods. The rest of the room is neat and orderly, as it tends to be (much to Gibbs' constant surprise). Whatever chairs can be found belowdecks have been dragged up by the first mate, creating a cozy feel.

The desk and the larger chests are covered with oilcloth, which serve as crude tablecloths. The ship's hodgepodge of dishes, cups and silverware, plundered from many ports and ships, sit near a selection of traditional holiday treats, from ham to mincepie. At the center of the desk, there is a crystal decanter with a gold nameplate saying "Captain Jack Sparrow", filled with red wine, surrounded by matching glasses.

And there is a small, sparsely decorated tree in a corner near the hammock.

It's Christmas on the Black Pearl. Welcome.

"I assure you," and it's very dry, "that things were run very well with a woman at the helm."

Alanna quirks an eyebrow, every inch the proud knight. But Gibbs will be Gibbs, and she soon smiles.

"I had to convince him to take on the job. But yes, we still work closely together. I only stepped down because I'm needed at home. Tortall's crops failed last year, and things have been uneasy ever since."

Laughing, she pokes him in the arm and nods.

"Aye, though you lot hold a special place in my heart, I'm honor-bound to treat you as I would any patron. But as long as you don't try to kill anybody, I don't see it being a problem."

"You know better than that, Alanna. A good pirate never had to resort to killin'. Indeed, a truly good pirate never has to resort using violence. A man like Jack, all he has to do is just say his name." In theory.

"But I'll watch myself."

"I'm glad to hear it," Alanna says with a grin, patting him on the back. "It's certainly not something we should trouble ourselves with this evening, I imagine. I'm only sad that I can't drink rum with the rest of you. I don't suppose you have anything else?"

She casts a hopeful eye toward the food area.

"There's water. And I think that perhaps the Captain has some wine." Gibbs leads the way to the food...

"Water it is then," Alanna says, and smiles, following him to the food.

That ought to keep her busy for a while.
